SYNOPSISHoliday In The Hills is Sutter Street Theatre’s love letter to the Holiday Season; It takes place in the late 1800’s (give or take a year or two) right here on Sutter Street where the residents of the town and surrounding areas have gotten together for a party to celebrate the season. A lot of research went into the people and places that preceded us in the late 1800’s, and everyone you see onstage was an actual resident or visitor to Folsom at that time of year. Seeing a performance of Holiday In The Hills will put you and your family in the holiday spirit or we’ll give your money back, guaranteed.

WHAT TO BRING:
● A short song with backing tracks on your phone. There will be no accompanist
●A headshot and resume if you have them.
● A complete list of any conflicts you have during the rehearsal schedule. *There can be no conflicts during tech week or performances.*

Actors of ALL ages are encouraged to audition.

SYNOPSIS: A mysterious woman lives in the misty mountains, making beautiful quilts for the poor. Meanwhile, the greedy king is desperate to find happiness, assuming it will come from one of the many presents he has demanded from his subjects. When the woman refuses to give the king a quilt, she starts him on a journey of self-discovery that takes them both on an unexpected adventure.

*SEEKING 4 CHORUS MEMBERS!

1 Soprano, 1 Alto, 1 Bass, and 1 Tenor (2 males & 2 females, teen to adult – Prefer 2 males from teen through adult but will also consider females.) These four roles are a very important part of the play. They are the King’s ragtag soldiers in much of the show but also have other roles throughout. They are the thread that keeps things moving. They are usually seen together. Dancing is minimal. Good vocal skills, particularly within a group, are a plus since most of the chorus action on stage is in songs.
